BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.

To turn on the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode, push and
hold the MAIN switch
for longer than
about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing the MAIN switch on, the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode display and the MAIN switch indi-
cator are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. After you hold the MAIN
switch on for longer than about 1.5
seconds, the ICC system display goes
out. The MAIN switch indicator stays lit.
You can now set your desired cruising
speed. Pushing the MAIN switch again will turn the system completely off.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position, the system is also automa-
tically turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode) or push
and hold it (conventional cruise control
mode) again to turn it on.

I-DA SYSTEM OPERATION
If the system detects driver fatigue or that
driver attention is decreasing, the mes-
sage “Take a Break?” appears in the
vehicle information display and a chime
sounds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 37 MPH (60 km/h).
The system continuously monitors driver
attention and can provide multiple warn-
ings per trip.
The system resets and starts reassessing
driving style and steering behavior when
the ignition switch is cycled from the ON
to the OFF position and back to the ON
position.

.If it is difficult to free the vehicle,
repeat forward and backward move-
ment to increase the movement.
. If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, tire
chains may be effective.
CAUTION
.Do not spin the tires excessively.
Tires will sink deep into the mud,
making it difficult to free the
vehicle.
. Avoid shifting gears with the en-
gine running at high speeds as
this may cause malfunction.

4WD SHIFT SWITCH
.Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the
AUTO, 4H or 4L position, depending on
driving conditions.
. With the switch set to the AUTO
position, distribution of torque to the
front and rear wheels changes auto-
matically, depending on road condi-
tions encountered [ratio; 0 : 100 (2WD)
? 50 : 50 (4WD)]. This results in
improved driving stability.
. If the 4WD shift switch is operated
while making a turn, accelerating or
decelerating or if the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position while in
the AUTO, 4H or 4L, you may feel a jolt. This is not abnormal.
. When the vehicle is stopped after
making a turn, you may feel a slight
jolt after the shift lever is shifted to N
(Neutral) or P (Park) position. This
occurs because the transfer clutch is
released and not because of a mal-
function.
CAUTION
.When driving straight, shift the
4WD shift switch to the AUTO or
4H position. Do not move the 4WD
shift switch when making a turn
or reversing.
. Do not shift the 4WD shift switch
while driving on steep downhill
grades. Use the engine brake and
low automatic transmission
gears for engine braking.
. Do not operate the 4WD shift
switch with the rear wheels spin-
ning.
. Before placing the 4WD shift
switch in the 4H position from
AUTO, ensure the vehicle speed is
less than 62 MPH (100 km/h).
Failure to do so can damage the
4WD system.

4WD SHIFT INDICATOR
The 4WD shift indicator is displayed in the
vehicle information display.
The indicator should turn off within 1
second after placing the ignition switch
in the ON position.
While the engine is running, the 4WD shift
indicator will illuminate the position se-
lected by the 4WD shift switch. (See the
4WD shift procedure list shown in the
“NISSAN all-mode 4WD® system” (P.5-125).)
.The 4WD shift indicator may blink
while shifting from one drive mode
to the other. When the shifting is
completed, the 4WD shift indicator will come on. If the indicator does
not come on immediately, make
sure the area around the vehicle is
safe, and drive the vehicle straight,
accelerate or decelerate or move the
vehicle in reverse, then shift the 4WD
shift switch.
. If the 4WD warning light comes on, the
4WD shift indicator turns off.

TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “P” keyis touched, the
indicator lighton the key will turn off
and the sonar will turn off temporarily.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) (if so
equipped), the Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB), and the Intelligent Back-up Inter-
vention (I-BI) (if so equipped) systems will
also be turned off at the same time. See
“Moving Object Detection (MOD)” (P.4-31),
“Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)” (P.5-116)
and “Intelligent Back-up Intervention (I-
BI)” (P.5-63).
When the “P” key
is touched again, the
indicator lightwill turn on and the sonar will turn back on.
In the cases below, the sonar will be
turned back on automatically:
.
When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed
and a screen other than the camera
view is shown on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position and turned back to
the ON position again.
To prevent the sonar system from acti-
vating altogether, use the sonar system
settings menu. See “Sonar function set-
tings” (P.4-28).
When both Sonar and the MOD system
are deactivated from the settings menu,
the "P" key
will disappear from the
display. (See “Sonar function settings”
(P.4-28) and “MOD function settings” (P.4-
34).)

5-144Starting and driving
illuminates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock
assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during
the self-test or while driving, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies
according to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the
actuator rapidly applies and releases
hydraulic pressure. This action is similar
to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal
and hear a noise from under the hood or
feel a vibration from the actuator when it
is operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. How-
ever, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care
is required while driving.The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) sys-
tem uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under
certain driving conditions, the VDC sys-
tem helps to perform the following func-
tions.
.
Controls brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a non
slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
. Controls brake pressure and engine
output to reduce drive wheel slip
based on vehicle speed (traction con-
trol function).
. Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle
in the following conditions:
— understeer (vehicle tends to not
follow the steered path despite
increased steering input)
— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving condi-
tions).
The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it
cannot prevent loss of vehicle control in
all driving situations.
When the VDC system operates, the VDC
warning light
in the instrument panel
flashes so note the following: .
The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some action
is required to help keep the vehicle on
the steered path.
. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise or vibration
from under the hood. This is normal
and indicates that the VDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
VDC warning light
illuminates in the
instrument panel. The VDC system auto-
matically turns off.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system. The VDC off indicator
illuminates to indicate the VDC system is
off. When the VDC switch is used to turn
off the system, the VDC system still
operates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to a non
slipping drive wheel. The VDC warning
light
flashes if this occurs. All other
VDC functions are off, and the VDC
warning light
will not flash. The VDC
system is automatically reset to on when
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position then back to the ON position.
When the 4L position is selected with the
4WD shift switch, the VDC system is
disabled and the VDC off indicator light

6-2In case of emergency
SIC2574
Push the switch on to warn other drivers
when you must stop or park under
emergency conditions. All turn signal
lights will flash.
WARNING
.If stopping for an emergency, be
sure to move the vehicle well off
the road.
. Do not use the hazard warning
flashers while moving on the
highway unless unusual circum-
stances force you to drive so
slowly that your vehicle might
become a hazard to other traffic. .
Turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning flasher lights
are on.
The flasher can be actuated with the
ignition switch in any position.
When an impact that could activate the
supplemental air bags is detected, the
hazard warning flasher lights blink auto-
matically. If the hazard warning flasher
switch is pushed twice, the hazard warn-
ing flashers will turn off.
WARNING
Do not turn the hazard warning
flasher switch to off until you can
make sure that it is safe to do so.
Also, the hazard flasher warning may
not blink automatically depending
on the force of impact.
Some state laws may prohibit the use of
the hazard warning flasher switch while
driving. In the event of a roadside emergency,
Roadside Assistance Service is available
to you. Please refer to your Warranty
Information Booklet (U.S.) or Warranty &
Roadside Assistance Information Booklet
(Canada) for details.
